Hold Me While You Wait // Scorbus

Eleven - Progress

Albus made a noise of shock at the feeling of Scorpius' lips on his, but quickly closed his eyes and leaned into the kiss, letting his hands hesitantly reach up to Scorpius' waist feeling the fabric of his pants nervously.

This kiss was a lot better than their first one, their lips moved more naturally together and their bodies fit better together with their hight difference. Scorpius' nose brushed Al's while he pulled his top lip between his own.

All too soon Scorpius pulled away, both of their cheeks flushed as they giggled softly.

"What was that?" Albus practically whispered. "Do you really like me like Adylinn said?"

Scorpius sighed, still cupping the smaller boy's cheeks warmly, "I don't know what Adylinn said but I like you so much Albus."

Albus bit back a wide smile, "R-Really? What made you realize? Because just a few weeks ago you... you and Adylinn - and that night after the party... I just - I can't let you hurt me again," Albus blabbed and Scorpius eyed him carefully. "You've got to be serious."

Scorpius let his hands drop down from Albus' face to hold his hands and squeeze them tightly, "I'm serious, Albus... I think I realized that night, actually," he admitted quietly.

Albus' smile slipped through his bit lip and he gripped Scorpius' robes to pulled him closer, "You mean that night when I snapped at you and told you to leave the next morning?"

The blond boy ducked his head slightly as if that would keep Albus from noticing his blushing, "Yeah. That was rough..."

Albus fondly rolled his eyes, "You deserved it though."

Scorpius' smile dropped slightly, "Yeah... yeah I know... I realized that that night too."

"Did you?" there was a hint of questioning and doubt in his voice.

Scorpius hesitated, unsure of what Albus was asking. "Seeing you hurting that night made me rethink everything. Seeing you with Davie and feeling jealous was... surprising."

A smirk spread onto Al's face, "You were jealous?"

Scorpius scrunched up his nose, "Maybe."

Albus snickered and leaned into Scorpius' shoulder, "I was never doing it to make you jealous but I guess that's a nice bonus."

A group of loud Gryffindor's passed by, shouting and laughing, oblivious to anyone else in the corridor. Albus and Scorpius shared knowing smiles and made their way down towards the Slytherin dormitories for some privacy.

"We're going to be late for History," Albus noted as Scorpius guided him by his hand down the hall. "We're headed in the complete opposite direction."

"I wasn't planning on going to History of Magic," Scorpius replied, "I'd much rather avoid Adylinn right now. You don't have to come with me though."

"Oh," Albus chirped, "I'd be glad to come with you."

"Good," Scorpius beamed and placed a quick kiss to the side of Albus' mouth, making the smaller boy let out a surprised squeak. The raven haired boy felt giddy with excitement - this didn't feel real at all, in fact he felt like he might have to pinch himself awake from this dream to keep him from getting his hopes up when he woke up.

Albus jerked awake when he felt his bed dip and someone climb under the sheets next to him. The dormitory was nearly pitch black but Scorpius' hair practically glowed in the soft green light coming from across the room.
